I don't have instructions on this one. It's just a simple puffy braid. I know this isn't the first blog to post it either! I'm going to try to post a hair do every day! Some times it will just be a quick pic I snapped at the school or store, sometimes it will be something I did!

This is part of the ongoing 2010 blogger challenge to post at least 1 picture every day! (which I think I did 2 days in a row on my family blog before I forgot!) It's really been harder than I thought to remember to take a pic a day!

Anyway, here it is. My Do of the Day!She's getting so big! She's not the 2 month old baby she was when I did my first post! If only these pics showed off her funny personality and how much fun she really is!

Here's a very simple, under 5 minute do to spice up those old baby piggies! It actually started as a little headband but I didn't like how it stuck out so I just connected the bottom ponies to the top ones and viola! Baby Climbers!

Start the same as the shorter version, take the top section and make it into a twist. Secure with a bobby pin then add a barrette for extra hold and to give it the extra bling!

(I know it's too low in this pic but I fixed it! That pic just didn't torn out. You want it at the bottom of the twist)

Take the front sections and flat iron to smooth away any bumps. Twist while pulling back to prevent bumps in the twist.Pull the first front section UNDER the barrette and pin down on the opposite side.The second section sounds tricky but it's not. You're going to twist it the same as the first but instead of going under you want to go OVER, then pull it under the first twist. The pics a bit fuzzy but you can see that I am using my fingers to pull it under the first twist section. Pin it in place. Make sure that the twists don't cover up your barrette. Use a little spray to keep it in place. Sorry, no front view of this one. I couldn't get a front pic of myself that I liked. It's about the same as the Short Version.

Start by sectioning off the front portion of hair. You can use a hair band or a clip to keep it out of the way.

Notice the hair on the side is down.Again, section the front off into 2 sections. I used a side part, sectioning off each side of the part separately.Braid the sides starting from the bottom going up. It's easiest to have her tilt her head to make the climber braid easier.Now we're going to take each braid and cross them.Notice here we have green on top and pink on the bottom.Cross again (pink on top and green on the bottom now)Continue to twist till all the braid reaches the pony tail. I did 3 twists.Connect the braids to the pony tail.Finish it off with a messy bun.

My Disclaimer thingy:

There's so many different hair blogs out there now that it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with them all! Many of the dos that I do are variations, or very similar, to dos that someone else has already posted.

I don't want to steal someone else's dos to take credit for something that I didn't think up either. So here's my "fairness pledge". If I ever post something that you have posted on your blog before (or know someone else that has) PLEASE feel free to leave a comment with the link! I hate when people do my dos and then claim that it was all their idea!

One more thing, if you have a hair blog and want me to link yours, I'll be happy to! just send an email to kristiceron at yahoo dot com with your blog link, and please, be sure to return the favor by linking mine to yours! I typically check my email every day but will get it linked asap.
